If James Horan returns to inter-county management in the future, it won't be with anyone other than Mayo.

The new Newstalk pundit was strongly linked to the Donegal post after stepping down as Mayo manager last autumn, but he insisted yesterday that he has no ambitions to manage outside his native county.

"I probably see myself (getting back into management) at some stage. I had four great years with Mayo, very enjoyable years but sometimes you just need to recharge and go and do a few different things, learn and get new experiences," he told the Irish Independent.

"And then depending on how things go you never know what's in the future.

"I couldn't see (myself managing someone else) at the moment. I'm happy painting the house and that. I just couldn't see it, no.

"It's not something I've considered or would consider."
